Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor - Professional Color Matching Tool - Identify and match paint and digital color values instantly

This device is totally worth the money given how accurate it is. The wall color fades in time so I can find out the current color (which is different from what I put up) and do touch up painting without having to go corner to corner.

I have mixed feelings about this product. I work as a professional painter. The downside is that it struggles with greys immensely.I use it as a shortcut to then match up what it suggests with my swatch books.

This digital color matching device is remarkable !!! It’s costly expense it definitely worth it. Using it with its app is easy peasy. The built-in color catalogs in the app cover the most popular paint manufacturers in the USA. Hoping they make a car paint version & a graphic design version in the near future!Well worth the cost!

We have rental properties and this product worked amazingly well. Didn't have a clue what colors were on the walls and if it couldn't find the exact color or name, it matched us with one that was exactly the same color. Works on all different paint companies. Easy to use.

The idea of the NIX Pro 2 is amazing. What a great idea. The implementation however is not so good. The sensor is not at all accurate. I tried it on 10 paint color chips from Home Depot in the Behr Marquee line and it was wrong at guessing the color 10 out of 10 times! And, the bad part is there is no way to calibrate it. I think if the parameters for RGB were available for tweaking it could be brought into accuracy. It also is no good for reading colors off of a TV screen as it thinks there is ambient light leaking in. It is designed to provide its own illumination of the color with some LED's in the head. With a software upgrade I think this product could potentially get 5 stars, but for now it is pretty useless.

A few times a year we do big projects that require color matching in print graphics (trailer wraps, ez-ups etc). After a few photos of issues with color difference were exchanged I was still getting the answer "you will have to re-order but we can offer a SLIGHT discount".I bought this and used it for the color comparison attached. Being able to show a visible delta difference in comparison was a game-changer. The re-print is on its way to my shop and it saved me a few thousand in reordering the item.It is not exact, but you knew that was going to be the case at this price point. It will never out-perform an $8000 lab quality rig. But at this price point it made sense for my shop even only being used 5 or so times a year. If you have ANY use for VERY CLOSE BUT NOT LAB CLOSE color matching, this is your solution.Buy it.

Great option compared to handheld spectros for 1/20th the cost.

I don't see how people are raving about the accuracy of this sensor. I've used it in a professional capacity for a few weeks now and am less than impressed with it. For example - I painted a wall with a new gallon of Glidden natural white, waited a day for it to dry, and then analyzed it. The Nix couldn't identify it correctly. And if I use it to identify a wall that I know to be antique white it will suggest colors that are nowhere near antique white. The suggested paints with a deltaE of less than 1 always appear to be noticeably different. Perhaps I recieved a faulty unit? So far, this $350 sensor is no better than an experienced guess. I'll try matching by using only the RGB values and see if it performs better.
